I went to the Rodeo

Posted on by

You might remember that a couple of months ago I visited the Rodeo in Amish Country, well this time I was back to watch my mom and Boomerang compete in it!

At the Rodeo // Team Penning // Ammo the Dachshund

Boomer was competing in a sport called Team Penning, which basically means that three riders have 90 seconds to round up three cows that are the same number (a number is called out by the announcer at the start) and pen them into a small corral at the other end of the arena.

At the Rodeo // Team Penning // Ammo the Dachshund

My buddy Boomer is pretty new to moving cows around, and this was only the third time he’s tried team penning.

Luckily he had me in the stands to cheer him on, and I think I was good luck because on his very first time out Boomer’s team penned their cows well under the time limit!

Not to brag, but I pretty much taught him all he knows!

Over the weekend it got hot hot hot, and instead of just laying around the house panting I decided to go to the lake!

Stepping it up on the Agility Course

Posted on by

Now that I’m back to my regular weekly agility classes (after mom had knee surgery and I had to take a little break) I’ve jumped right back in where I left off and I’m now doing full courses! I’m still a bit of a novice and have plenty to learn, but I’m having loads of fun running the courses!

So what do you think? Does it look like I’m having a blast?!

Baseball, Huskies, and First Aid Kits

Posted on by

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I took a trip to one of the local baseball fields in my town.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

I practiced running the bases (you know for when I hit a home run), and found myself wishing I hadn’t left my baseball glove at home.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

And just when I thought my baseball team was only going to consist of me and my shadow…..my pal Shilah showed up!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah (being the puppy that she is) didn’t really have the attention span to play a game of baseball with me, so we decided to take a walk around the park instead.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

We sniffed for buried treasures, and I showed Shilah how fast I can run! (It’s really really fast incase you were wondering)

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

And when we were done with our adventure at the park I invited Shilah back to my house for a cookout!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Back at my house we had fun romping in the backyard, and I even let Shilah borrow my mom and her camera. Sometimes even celebrities like me need to share their paparazzi.

Shilah is quite the looker isn’t she?

Then, right before dinner we had to break out my pet first aid kit for a little uh oh!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

See Shilah had been so busy playing in the backyard that she didn’t even notice that she had broken a toenail (those silly girls and their long nails).

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Not to worry though, Shilah’s mommy took great care in doctoring her up. We cleaned it up and applied some antibiotic ointment.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah had to spend the rest of the evening in my xpen “resting”, but I know she’ll be back for a visit in no time and we’ll be romping around in the backyard again hunting for treasures and rolling in stink. Maybe I’ll buy her a nail file for Christmas. *wink*

Rodeo in Amish Country

Posted on by

On Monday nights there is a rodeo of sorts held in the heart of Amish Country – practically right outside my backdoor. Of course I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a trip to the Hillbrook Rodeo!

Rodeo in Amish Country // Ammo the Dachshund

Tucked away in farm country this rodeo is open to riders of all ages – boasting barrel racing, pole bending, team penning, and various other speed sports. (For the non-horse enthusiast, it basically had cows and horses that like to run really really fast).

The team penning was pretty fun to watch, with the object being that three riders need to pick out three cows (all containing the same number on their sides) and separate them from their herd, putting them into a different pen. The Amish gals made it look easy – even while riding in a dress!

Rodeo in Amish Country // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the little girls I met at the rodeo offered to lend me her pony so I could give team penning a try too.

Very tempting, considering that her miniature horse was JUST MY SIZE, but I had to take a pass this time.

After all, being a spectator was turning about to be way too much fun anyway.

Nose Art

Nose Art by Ammo the Dachshund

I may have talented paws (check out my original paintings HERE), but did you also know I have a talented nose? Oh yes, I’ve been working on my original “nose art” (seen above) for quite some time now.

Nose Art by Ammo the Dachshund

It takes patience and some long long naps on the couch to perfect my technique – and the occasional bunny outside helps a bit too.

Nose Art by Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve been working on this masterpiece for a couple of months now, and while it’s looking quite swell I know there is still more to add.

Got Gold Fishes

Got Gold Fishes // Ammo the Dachshund

Every once in a while you get that itch. That itch to play and dart, and RUN!

Got Gold Fishes // Ammo the Dachshund

And then just like that you’re off like a rocket. Faster than a speeding bullet you run, thinking maybe you’ll never come back.

Got Gold Fishes // Ammo the Dachshund

But then mom digs around in her pocket and finds a leftover goldfish. Darn those gold fishes, they’re just so delicious.

And just like that you find yourself screaming…… “I’m coming mom, I’m coming…..don’t eat it…..I’m coming!”

Darn those gold fishes, they’re just so delicious. Ammo the Dachshund
